Great post, VLN. Surveillance is now ubiquitous, but you don't have to opt in. (A little off topic, but this is why I use an Apple phone. They don't sell their data, location data and otherwise. An app on it might track me, but I can choose my apps. The phone's OS isn't intrinsically part of the sur...
